I reached out to Chef Hernandez for our Anniversary dinner. He was quick to respond and we agreed on a price and menu within no time. He was in constant touch on the day of the dinner and brought an assistant with him to carry all the stuff that he needs.
He was quick with the setup and just around the time we were hungry we had our courses ready. Every course was very delicious and it felt like we were fine dined but at the comfort of our home.
His passion for fresh ingredients and cooking in general was evident through his talks and the food. Our personal favorite was the Risotto.
I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to hire a private chef for their events.

After reading all the reviews I contacted Chef Albert. He responded back to me immediately. He was so nice to talk with and had great ideas for my wife’s 50th birthday surprise. We had 21 guests and we did it outside on a bocce court. He set up and cooked at the end of the bocce court! Everyone got to watch as he created the most wonderful appetizers (carnitas taco’s, crab-cakes, kalbi ribs), dinner ( dry Aged beef with a wine reduction sauce, scallops, mixed vegetables and the best risotto!!) For dessert he did a berry cobbler, brownies and put on a show with liquid nitrogen and made dipping dots that everybody raved about! He was accompanied by his son Adam who was a true gentleman! They both did such a fantastic job! We will definitely be recommending and using Chef Albert and his son Adam for future events!

Chef Albert so easy to work with. He designed a beautiful and amazing 10-11 course birthday dinner for us. Each dish was incredible- creative, lots of complex combinations of tastes and ingredients. We started outdoors with various dishes including uni and caviar and a special pizza from his portable pizza oven. We moved indoors after sunset for more great food including the best risotto course … with an interesting twist, tasty lamb, some surprises that made it really fun ( I won’t give it away). We highly recommend chef Albert and his son!

Albert made our wedding day such a success!! From his entertaining food presentation to his top notch food, all of our guests were so happy. I heard so many guests raving about the mashed potatoes and how it was the best blue cheese dressing they had ever tasted. To me, it all was amazing and I wish I would've ate more of it!! My now hubby was extremely impressed with chefs flame gun! You'll see...
